TIA/EIA 568A and TIA/EIA 568B.Introduction to wired network standards.

TIA/EIA 568A and TIA/EIA 568B.

– Twisted pair wire standards.» There are two twisted pair cable pinout standards that

are regulated by TIA/EIA (Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Alliance). The pinout standards specify the ordering of the wires to ensure that proper networking communications can take place.

• TIA/EIA 568A (T568A).• TIA/EIA 568B (T568B).

» All modern Ethernet networks that utilize unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) use the TIA/EIA standards.

– Common tools used with twisted pair cable.

» Wire strippers are used to remove the insulating jacket from the cable.

» Crimping tools are used to secure wires into modular connectors.

» Punchdown tools are used to secure wires into a punchdown block.

» Cable testers are used to test the integrity of a network cable.

– Distance limitations.» Twisted pair is limited to 100 m without a repeater,

unless otherwise stated.» Coaxial LAN is limited to either 185 or 500 m, depending

on the coaxial cable that is used.• 10Base2: 10 Mbps, using RG-58, limited to 185 m.• 10Base5: 10Mbps, using RG-8, limited to 500 m.

» Fiber optic LAN transmission is limited by the cable used; current maximum is over 40 km over single-mode optical fiber (SMF).

– Twisted pair cable.» 10BaseT: 10 Mbps, using UTP (minimum of Cat3).» 100BaseT: 100 Mbps, using a minimum of Cat5.» 100BaseTX: 100 Mbps, using two pair over a minimum

» 10GBaseLX4 over multimode: over MMF, up to 10 km.

» 10GBaseCX4: over InfiniBand copper cabling, up to 15 m.


Other standards.Introduction to wired network standards.

Other standards.

– DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification).

» The standards that have been established to provide the interface requirements for data transmissions over a broadband cable network.

• To achieve the best performance when using broadband cable, the cable modem should meet the highest DOCSIS standard used by the cable provider.

» The most current standard is DOCSIS 3.1, which allows for up to a theoretical maximum download speed of 10 Gbps with a theoretical upload speed of 1 Gbps.

– IEEE 1905.1-2013.» A standard that defines a network enabler (or device)

that is used to create a convergent home networking environment that includes different types of wired and wireless networks.

• The standard also includes Ethernet over power line, which is using the existing electrical wiring in a structure as the media to transport data.

• The standard also includes Ethernet over HDMI, which is using an HDMI interface and cable to transport network traffic.


What was covered.Introduction to wired network standards.

The TIA/EIA is the organization that has established the commonly used twisted pair wiring standards. The organization has specified two different pinouts for UTP and STP wiring—T568A or T568B. All modern Ethernet networks use these standards.

Topic

TIA/EIA 568A and TIA/EIA 568B.

Summary

All cables have a distance limitation. Twisted pair cabling has a normal limit of 100 m. Coaxial cabling is limited to either 185 m or 500 m. Fiber optic cabling is limited by type of cable and transmission type. The standards for Ethernet have evolved over time and have gone from 10 Mbps to the more current standard of 10 Gbps.

Ethernet standards.

DOCSIS are a set of specifications used in broadband cable that set the standards required for the data interface for broadband cable networking. The IEEE 1905.1-2013 standard defines a network enabler that can be used in the home networking environment to bring convergence to wired and wireless network media. It also provides specification for Ethernet over power line and Ethernet over HDMI.
